Life after business journalism

There is a world after business journalism, attests Victoria Manley, the former business editor of the Monterey County Herald in California, who left her job last year to pursue a career in the movies.

A brief in the Herald on Saturday states, “‘Up’ is the first Pixar film credit for The Herald’s former reporter and business editor, Victoria Manley. She got out of the journalism profession more than a year ago after following her animation dream on a path that led to Pixar.

“Manley, a former Aromas resident, is the assistant to the director/legal coordinator for the film.

“She reports that the past few weeks have been ‘crazy,’ with the film’s first showing at Skywalker Ranch, followed by the wrap party and the premiere in Los Angeles. But the work itself? Sublime.

“‘I can’t imagine a smoother operation,’ she said. ‘All ended on time, in budget, with nothing compromised.'”
